Ideally, you should give yourself a change of scenery today. It's exactly what you're in the mood for, and you'll relish the chance of a brief breather. You might even be inspired to arrange a longer break in the near future, such as a holiday or a weekend trip to somewhere you've always wanted to visit. It will feel great to have something that you can look forward to. Adventurous colours are lime green and electric blue. Lucky numbers are 18 and 45.
The sky's the limit as far as you're concerned today. You're full of optimism and bravado, and you've got a lot to prove. This is a day when you can achieve a tremendous amount if you're sensible, but if you're foolish you'll fall flat on your face. Try to stop yourself making promises you can't keep, doing things that are beyond your scope, and saying things that you don't mean, and all will be well. Bold colours are bright red and peacock blue. Lucky numbers are 11 and 51.
The more convinced you are about the truth of something, the more you'll resist anyone changing your mind about it during the next two weeks. Yet it's important that you're open-minded and receptive to a variety of ideas, especially if you're wrestling with a difficult decision. Be prepared to listen and learn, and possibly even to admit that you don't have all the answers. Receptive colours are pistachio and dark pink. Lucky numbers are 1 and 12.
You're bouncing around full of energy, so find as many outlets for it as possible. You won't be happy if you're cooped up in one place for too long and you might even get rather irritable. Daredevil activities seem very attractive right now but don't be too reckless, especially if cars or heights are involved. You must accept your limitations otherwise you'll be in trouble. Calming colours are sienna and platinum. Lucky numbers are 28 and 44.
It will be almost impossible to stop you saying whatever is on your mind during the next few weeks, because you'll have such a burning desire to get certain things off your chest. This is perfect for having the courage of your convictions, but take care that you don't become strident or bombastic in the process. You will also have to respect other people's right to disagree with you. Peaceful colours are mango and avocado. Lucky numbers are 16 and 70.
The emphasis in your life shifts today from money to the way you communicate with others, and it will affect you until October 2005. This will be a wonderful opportunity to spend more time with the people you see on a day-to-day basis, and to really enjoy the connections you establish with one another along the way. Communicative colours are amethyst and smoky quartz. Lucky numbers are 34 and 11.
Love has a life-enhancing effect today so don't underestimate its power. If you meet someone for the first time now you'll be completely bowled over by them and they'll have a tremendous impact on you. An existing relationship will also blossom, helped by your determination to increase the intimacy between you. You may also make a momentous decision about your joint future. Passionate colours are bright red and deep purple. Lucky numbers are 20 and 73.
You really shine in social settings today because you're so chatty and friendly to everyone you meet. You might even make a new chum in the process, so don't be shy about talking to people you hardly know. This is also a good day for visiting people who live a short distance away. You'll enjoy the journey as well as the visit itself. Uplifting colours are ruby red and sapphire blue. Lucky numbers are 40 and 68.
This is the start of a long phase in which communications will be emphasized. This means everything from the way you put across your ideas to your use of computers and telephones. During the coming four weeks you'll enjoy making contact with close relatives and neighbours, especially if this gives you the chance to offer an olive branch or two. Peaceful colours are peach and ivory. Lucky numbers are 38 and 9.
Once again you're in shopping mode and you'll jump at the chance to spend some big bucks, whether or not you've got them. This urge to splurge will soon be moderated but in the meantime you might decide to go for broke, so be careful. Nevertheless, you could make some very lucky purchases now if you keep your wits about you, but do watch the expense of it all. Beneficial colours are cornflower blue and silver. Lucky numbers are 5 and 10.
You're blessed with considerable tact and charm today, especially when talking to some of your favourite people. You might have a delicious but harmless flirtation with a friend or enjoy a wonderfully soppy encounter with your one true love. This is also the perfect day for going to the cinema or theatre, or visiting an art gallery or museum. Romantic colours are shell pink and dark green. Lucky numbers are 12 and 52.
This is a super day for taking care of the domestic chores because you'll get a certain sense of satisfaction from them. You'll also enjoy ministering to your nearest and dearest, perhaps by feeding them within an inch of their lives or making their surroundings as cosy and safe as possible. You might also consider making some improvements to your home. Powerful colours are buttercup yellow and dark brown. Lucky numbers are 24 and 33.
You're in a very dreamy and idealistic mood today, and your feet will barely touch the ground. If you're involved with someone then you'll only want to see the good in them, even if it's completely overshadowed by their faults. If a new relationship begins now it will always have strong overtones of fantasy and romance, making it hard to see what's really going on between you. Dreamy colours are violet and silvery blue. Lucky numbers are 8 and 38.
How is your new fiscal strategy going? Are you managing to keep down your expenses and make every penny count? At some point today find the time to assess your progress so far, and see if there is room for any further improvements. You're in a very realistic frame of mind, and won't commit yourself to any strategies that you know you can't manage but nor will you make excuses for yourself if you haven't done as well as expected. Prosperous colours are dark gold and lilac. Lucky numbers are 37 and 61.
Follow your hunches today because they're working well. However, you need to tread a fine line between acknowledging your intuition and indulging in any wishful thinking that might be going through your mind. In other words, resist the temptation to kid yourself about things that you know deep down will never happen in a million trillion years. Adventurous colours are dark pink and jet black. Lucky numbers are 33 and 6.
You want to channel considerable amounts of energy into your priorities in life today and will get slightly ratty if something stops you from doing this. You're also in a very assertive mood, so will have no qualms about making your mark on the world or putting someone in their place if you think they deserve it. Don't go overboard and crush them completely. Empowering colours are silvery grey and antique gold. Lucky numbers are 1 and 27.
If you're planning on making a major purchase try and do it during the coming fortnight, as it will benefit from the influence of today's New Moon. Even so, you should still consider whether you can afford it before you put your money down, and you should also do some research first to make sure you're getting a good deal. Uplifting colours are peach blossom and dark blue. Lucky numbers are 20 and 5.
You're prone to doing things on the spur of the moment today, especially when it comes to spending money. Those impulse buys may seem like a good idea at the time but you could soon change your mind once you get them home. Make sure you keep the receipts so you can take them back to the shop! Your other half may also want to make some confessions about their shopping. Empowering colours are indigo and silver. Lucky numbers are 8 and 39.
If you aren't careful you could have a re-run of what happened on Friday, and once again you'll be determined to stick to your guns. Even if you know that this is a self-defeating way to behave you'll be powerless to do anything about it at the moment. You'll also be very resistant to change if you know that a relationship needs a rethink, and won't want to face up to the truth. Romantic colours are ultramarine and sable. Lucky numbers are 20 and 66.
You may be upset about what happened yesterday but this isn't the day to sort it out. Instead of being the dogmatic Leo you're now almost too eager to see the other person's point of view and keep them sweet. In fact, you're willing to agree to almost anything if it will prevent a row, and that might mean the other person will take advantage of you in order to emerge the victor. Liberating colours are sky blue and dusky pink. Lucky numbers are 28 and 15.
It seems that you and a loved one are on a collision course about money or something else that you value. Unfortunately, neither of you is willing to back down or change your mind, so you'll soon lock horns. Be very wary about being drawn into power struggles today because they could get nasty, bringing out the worst in both of you. If you can't reach an agreement today, postpone the discussions until you're both feeling more amenable and flexible. Dynamic colours are platinum and kiwifruit. Lucky numbers are 8 and 39.
You're feeling generous and could easily be persuaded to part with some cash if it's in aid of a good cause. Alternatively, you might decide that charity begins at home and that a loved one needs your help. If so, you'll have to offer your assistance in a way that doesn't make them feel patronized or as though the workhouse is only one step away. Be tactful! Beneficial colours are silvery blue and amber. Lucky numbers are 27 and 55.
You're tempted by the thought of impulse buying today, so be careful if you're supposed to be saving every penny at the moment. You'll do your best to hide your shopping by stashing it on top of your wardrobe or under your bed, hoping that no one will notice. If you're out and about you might have a surprise encounter with someone who always makes your knees go weak. Opportune colours are gold and silver. Lucky numbers are 27 and 72.
Friends are great company today, even if you can only spare the time for a quick drink or a phone call. You'll enjoy chatting to them and you can always arrange to get together later in the week. If you're taking part in a group activity you'll welcome the chance to air your views while also allowing others to have their say. Favourable colours are primrose and navy. Lucky numbers are 29 and 42.
Your powers of attraction are always pretty good but they'll be even better throughout the rest of September. If you want to make yourself utterly irresistible you could treat yourself to some new clothes or a different hairdo, but this will really be gilding the lily. It will also mean that if you set your sights on someone they'll be almost powerless to resist your charms. Ideal colours are charcoal and plum. Lucky numbers are 49 and 30.
Watch out if a slight sense of superiority steals over you today because it will make you unpopular with whoever happens to be around. You may think you're giving them the benefit of your experience and wisdom, but they may interpret it as a sign that you're far too full of yourself. Be methodical if you're dealing with paperwork otherwise you're likely to lose something. Inspirational colours are crimson and royal purple. Lucky numbers are 4 and 20.
You're fired up with energy and enthusiasm today, and want to get ahead with whatever is on your list of things to do. However, don't be so keen on getting these tasks out of the way quickly that you end up doing them badly. It will be very frustrating to have to do something twice because you made a hash of it first time round. Ideal colours are aqua and peach. Lucky numbers are 1 and 55.
If you're busy at work all your efforts won't be in vain because they'll come to the notice of someone influential. This is a good day for sorting out financial matters with the help of someone who knows what they're talking about. They'll soon put you on the right track and might also give you some valuable advice. Auspicious colours are mulberry and dark green. Lucky numbers are 8 and 72.
Personal communications return to normal today after an irritating phase in which they've led to confusion and mistakes. You can get back on track now, and it's a good idea to check that any important letters or emails you sent have reached their destination. If you've been toying with a decision, this is an excellent day for making up your mind and then acting on it. Auspicious colours are lilac and jet black. Lucky numbers are 35 and 5.
You'll do your utmost to ensure that everyone has a good time today. You're in a very considerate mood and want to put people at their ease. You'll be very charming, but take care not to give the wrong impression to anyone who might take advantage of it another time. For instance, you don't want to give the impression that you fancy someone if you don't really. Creative colours are pistachio and hazelnut brown. Lucky numbers are 1 and 56.
